International and UK salsa congresses and events 2010-2011

The following are few of the many great salsa congresses and events taking place in the UK and internationally this year. However, this is by no means exhaustive -- for further listings, please see: http://worldsalsafestivals.org -- btw, I will be adding to/deleting from this gradually as I go along.
(Ed. note: Speaking of exhaustive, it seems many of the best congresses/events planned this year are all taking place on the same weekends -- so just making up your mind which one to go to is a major challenge!)
